Will two versions of iPhoto clash?
I have a newer iMac with iphoto 6.0. I also have an older G3 I just bought running Panther. Not sure the version of that iPhoto, but it's definitely different.
If I host the photos on my newer Mac, will my older Mac be able to point to them? Or will the two versions clash?
Thanks!
It won't work because libraries are not backwards compatible. If you open an older version library with iPhoto 6 the library will be updated by v6. Once updated, it is unreadable by the older version. There is a big difference in the library structure of v6 and previous versions.
Regards.

Two versions of iPhoto - Update query
I have copied my iPhoto library from my office Mac onto an external drive.
When trying to transfer that to my home Mac I got the message 'You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.'.
Now, I cannot open my home Mac's version of iPhoto or the library on the external drive.
I had updated the home Mac- how do I get the version of the library on the external disc to update so I can transfer all my pics?still need details
What version of iPhoto and of the OS on each system?
Since disconnecting the EHD allows you to access your old library I suspect that you do not know how to switch libraries - launch iPhoto while holding the option key down to get the select library window to switch between libraries
And your original problem is probably incompatibable versions - older versions of iPhoto can not open libraries created by newer versions
Since you will not provide requested details these are only guesses

Keep 2 versions of iPhoto after iPhoto 08 update
hello,
I am in need of some help, I would like to keep two versions of iPhoto on my computer. I installed iLife 08 and iMovie kept the older version (for obvious reasons), but can the same be done with iPhoto - I work in a training facility and some people come in for training that own an older version, so it's a pain to have to explain what's in their version and what's not.
THanks for any help.
ChrisYes it is, but it may be a bit tricky to install now that you've already installed v7.
You'll need to delete all the pkg folders in HD/Library/ Receipts that have iPhoto in the name and then install. Make sure you put it in a different folder than v7. Also, v6 will NOT be able to open v7 libraries, so keep those apart too.
Regards

I keep getting a message when I try to open iphoto that says that my photo library needs to be upgraded and my library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. What do I do??
Depends - you first off need to suypply us with information since we only know what you tell us
Like what version of iPhoto are you using? Have you recently installed any iPhoto (or iLife) updates or upgrades? Do you plan to use this iPhoto library with two or more different versions of iPhoto (no possible so stop now if you do)? Where is your iPhoto library?
Anything else that you can tell us that might let us give you a good answer to your question

Attempted to create a slideshow (version 9.3) and get the dreaded spinning ball that will not go away; iphoto locked up when open. how do I get rid of the ball. Have forced quit seveal times and opens with the spinning ball.
Make a temporary, backup copy if you don't have a backup copy of the library (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4
Launch iPhoto and try again.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

It seems that the new version of iPhoto will no longer share photos between computers on the same network. Can anyone confirm this?

I have "automatically create previews" in the preferences UNCHECKED. Why is Aperture creating previews? For the screen image?
You might also need to turn Preview generation off for any existing Projects. Select the Project in the Projects pane and use the cog button at the top of the pane to uncheck 'Maintain Previews For Project'.

Creative Cloud & Creative Suite 6 - Will I have two versions of InDesign, Illustra, etc?
I have Creative Suite 6 installed on my Windows 7 laptop. I joined Creative Cloud and started downloading. Apparently two versions of Illustrator and InDesign. Oh my - that's a lotta disc space.
I'm uncomfortable uninstalling my Creative Suite 6.
I'm worried if I download the Creative Cloud versions of PHOTOSHOP & DREAMWEAVER - I'll lose all my plugins and web site definitions. YIKES!
I searched all the FAQ, etc., found no answer. Maybe I missed something. I bet this is a really common question.
So is that the deal? We have two versions of Adobe software? What happens if I install Cloud versiosn of Dreamweaver and Photoshop?
Thanks for your help.
AprilThere aren't many differences between the Creative Cloud version of Photoshop and Dreamweaver at the moment. You are welcome to uninstall or you can even go to Help>Deactivate. Once you have deactivated when you open the software again you maybe given the option to License this Software. If so you can enter your Adobe ID tied to your subscription and the software will begin using the licensing for your Creative Cloud subscription.

iPhoto will not load the iPhoto library. When I select "show all windows" the library does appear but cannot open it. I am on version 8.1.2 and using Maverick.
I was able to get it fixed. I had received some responses and they had me
recreate the library I believe. It's been a while so I cant remember
exactly what I did. I have since upgraded to the latest i photo version and
have had no problems with it.

I have updated to the latest version of iPhoto. But now iPhoto will not let me amend the preset text in the text boxes.
the text is highlighted for a nano second but it will not stay highlighted so that I can add my own text.
can anyone help me with this issue.
Many thanksYou might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:

In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side. -
I was given an iMac without iPhoto. Have updated to OS to 10.6.8. How do I get a version of iPhoto that will the updates will work with? Downloaded 9.2.1 and it looked for 9.1; downloaded 9.1 and it looked for 9.0??

I just downloaded an old version of iDVD from a disc I purchased from Amazon. I downloaded only the iDVD portion of the disc. Now when I go to open my new version of iPhoto, I get a message that I cannot open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. What can I do to get this resolved?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List. -
So I just updated my MacBook Pro and installed the new version of iPhoto and rebooted it and now there is a logo of the world blinking on my screen and it will not go away please help
You can force quit by holding the power button down for extended period.
During boot up hold down the Option key and choose your Macintosh HD OSX.
In >System Preferences> Startup Disk>choose your internal OSX System as Default. -
Will using two versions of dreamweaver trash my code??
Our company is currently building a new website and we keep running into problems. Currently we have one main web desginer and another person who helps input text and pictures. Because we have two people working on this project the file bounces between two computers at the office and then is taken home and used on a third computer. In the midst of the multi-use of computers there are two versions of Macromedia, studio 8 and MX. We had our code completely trashed and now all versions on each computer are not working. We think that it was due to a code that was pulled off of a blog for a "print this page" option that was input into the template, but now just realized that using two versions of dreamweaver also may have caused the problem. If anyone has suggestions as to what may have caused this please respond!
Thank you!Thank you David! We will stop worrying about that and try to back track the tainted code

How can I download a version of iPhoto that will work on OS 10.7.5?
I tried to upgrade my iPhoto '08 to a newer version, but the new version won't run on OS 10.7.5 and now I cannot open iPhoto. Is there a way to uninstall the recent upgrade or reinstall a version of iPhoto to will work on OS 10.7.5?
now I cannot open iPhoto
Yes you may be able to. Download, launch and apply the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 to your library and then try to open it with iPhoto 9.5.1. The upgrades will be installed in your Applications/Utilities folder.

Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there? It does not give me a choice, it just says quit or upgrade? p.s. i didn't realise ther was a way to back up my computer beforehand, which i am guessing this is time machine?
1. No, you haven't.
2. Back up the iPhoto library(this can be done through Time Machine or by dragging it to a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended) and then click Upgrade.
3. Aside from Time Machine and drag-copying items from your home folder, programs such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, and SuperDuper can make backups.
